So we seemed to be done with the Torchlight story. But by the time the team got the much-delayed MacOS version of Torchlight II out the company was sick of the game, the MMO was off, and that was that.Īll those links lead to even more links about what was going on.

This was all in furtherance of what was eventually supposed to be a Torchlight MMO. But for me it just wasn’t that compelling. If local multiplayer or support for modding were your most important features, it was the game to back. In the market Diablo III had story, Path of Exile had the gritty Diablo II vibe, and Torchlight II was cute and colorful and full of features and just a bit too bland. A year later it was announced that the game would be delayed and, when it came down to it its big rival, Diablo III, shipped first.Īnd when it did ship… well… it was okay. Even the music was done by the same person, which meant it was really good.Ī year later the announcement came for Torchlight II, which would give us all the things we wanted. It had some issues and it was only single player and if you bought it from the wrong online store (this was before Steam was all) you had some trouble, but it was good in a very modest way and it was done by some of the same people who did Diablo and Diablo II back in the day. I am conflicted on Roman vs Arabic numerals right nowīack in 2009 a charming little solo ARPG called Torchlight came out.

Grim dawn the attendant choices
